'''{{Gender|title1=|image1=[[File:Kingender.png]]|caption1=|system=|type=Umbrella term, [[Xenogender]]|exclusivity=Otherkin only|coined_by=sadvaporwavebabe|coining_date=2014PAGENAME}}'''Kingender''' is an umbrella term for a [[gender|gender identity]] related to one's kintype. Otherkin refers to a non-human identification,; for example, someone who identifies as a dragon on a spiritual, mental, or emotional level. Kingender may include a change in gender when one experiences a shift, the experience of being a certain gender because of one's identity, or identifying as a xenogender related to one's kintype. The suffix '''-kinic''' may be used for kingenders.

*''Kingender: A catch-all term used to describe people whose gender(s) are related to them being otherkin, or are somehow influenced by it.'' - Pride-color-schemes, 2016<ref>https://pride-color-schemesarchive.tumblr.com/post/148276803445is/kingenderhTEG4</ref>▼
The identity is exclusive to those who identify as otherkin (or a term that falls under otherkin), because the gender of people who identify as kingender is intertwined with their kin identity. ▼

===Controversy===
The original coining of kingender was submitted to [[MOGAI-Archive]] by sadvaporwavebabe, who was a notorious anti-otherkin troll who later apologized for transphobia and ableism in her posts<ref>https://otherkinfaq-blog.tumblr.com/post/107528626623/psa#notes</ref>. Despite the term coming from a troll, kingender is used in a legitimate fashion as a genuine label to this day.
